New Discussion Forum System: Category Section
I thought I & would take a moment to write a quick blog post. I haven't written much this year. I've been spending my time building out my site, and learning how to program... By concentrating my time on the site development, I've become quite proficient at programming, which means that the structure of this site is becoming better and better.
The good news is that the look of the site is getting better and better. I've started to hire out the cosmetic part of the site... I'm not a website cosmetician by any means. :)
I'm hoping to publish the next section of the site: the topic categories, by the end of this week.. The complexity of the new design is much greater than what I've dealt with in the past.
I'm rolling out the new look of the site in sections... basically as I build them, I will publish them. This means that the discussion forum won't match for a few months, but hopefully by Jan 1, or sooner, the whole discussion forum area will match.
You may ask, "why am I building out the site myself?" why don't I hire this out? I got it into my head that I wanted to learn about programming when I first published the site in 2005... I guess it's one of those personal interest type things.. As I learned more about programming, CSS, html, php, and mysql, I realized I could build out the site, better - stronger - faster with the better techniques I learned.
After I finish my planned build out, I hope to get back to my regular blog posting and podcasts with experts etc.
The good thing about a DIY site is this: It's all paid for in cash, with no debt acquired to build this site.. The process is slower, however as a website we remain financially safe... which is what we recommend to our visitors.
Anyway... please do look for the new discussion forum look as I roll it out in the next few weeks/months.
Cheers.
